He let his wife have a go at moving the Landrover off the driveway (I use the word driveway but there must be another, better word for it). The gates were fine up until then...... See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU1hqEyuLhQ for what happened when she took the car down the driveway and got it stuck. This was before she hit the gates with the landrover. -- Adam |

I'm surprised he would want to mess with panels because open boards with arris rails would be easier and match the far fence. Maybe I do fences wrong, but I like to space the palings evenly between the posts. The posts are sometimes different distances apart because they have to be. I use a calculator to space the palings evenly. Divide the distance betwen the posts by the number of palings +1, i.e. not rocket science. Most tradesmen make all the palings the same distance apart, so next to each post there is a larger or smaller gap. They even seem surprised that there is another way of doing the spacing. My most recent fence: http://i42.tinypic.com/2r478dg.jpg Last week yet another person couldn't figure out how to open either of the two gates. The latch on the left hand gate is the same as most gates around here. |

The latch on the left hand gate is the same as most gates around here. OK I'll buy it:-) You lift the left hand end of the gate. The top hinge is slotted allowing the gate to move past the stop post? We use what are called New Zealand gates here. Where wide field entrances are needed for moving livestock a *flying fence* section is made just short of the space between the posts and secured at one end. The other end is secured by loops of wire fixed to the stationary post which accept the bottom of the flying post allowing the wire to be strained tight and secured by the top loop. regards -- Tim Lamb |

The left hand small gate has on ordinary gate latch on the right hand side - the kind that vast numbers of gate have: http://img-asia.electrocomponents.co...R434962-01.jpg Obviously that gate opens inwards and away from the large gate. Since there is nowhere for the large gate to swing, obviously it slides. It is too flimsy to swing anyway. Obviously it won't slide past the small gate, so it slides to the right. There is no catch on it yet - just grab the gate and pull it to the right. It slides behind the fence on the right. This all has the added benefit that I get fewer annoying people trying to sell me something. |

It was a complete PITA due to dropped links etc. I ended up converting the videos and losing the quality. So I now have the full installation of the panels recorded on CCTV. More time is spent with hands in pockets than the fitting of the panels and there is not a spirt level in sight. Some gravel boards were raised (and then lowered by jumping on them) and one fence post was removed. Personally I would have given the job to the dog that was running around the garden.

I haven't followed this thread - but is this your fence? **** off:-) It is NOT my fence. It is the nextdoor neighbours new fence and it is not against my property it is on the other side of their property between them and the next door but one neighbour. I'd object to someone growing ivy up mine due to the damage it can do over time. SWMBO recommends virginia creeper, very pretty. And I'd object to the fence because it looks like this http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/q...0/100_0337.jpg http://i428.photobucket.com/albums/q...0/100_0338.jpg Ivy is doing things politely.
